Introduction

Interkunst e.V. is a registered non-profit association based in Berlin. It was founded on 1990. Activities are concentrated on the realisation of multi-cultural projects, innovative forms of encounter and interdisciplinary forms of theatre and art. The association is in particular representing their European approaches by creating integrative projects for artists from different disciplines and of different nationalities. A main focus of the theatre work lies in the area of cultural preventive measures, which is realised by creating educational cultural concepts and programs.

With the help of an artistic director, all the elements will then be brought together to create one professional touring show (75 min).
